Seattle calls up Bantz, options Triunfel to minors

By:

SEATTLE — The roster churn for the Seattle Mariners continued Wednesday when the club selected catcher Brandon Bantz from Triple-A Tacoma to add depth with Jesus Sucre likely out a few days after getting hit on his left hand.

The Mariners also transferred outfielder Franklin Gutierrez to the 60-day disabled list as he continues to struggle in coming back from a hamstring strain suffered in April that only added to a long list of injuries. Gutierrez has been on the disabled list since April 23 and will be eligible to be activated on June 22.
